Together
Swans are seen here in immense numbers now, Flocking up and heading for the far arctic north to make little swans.
This group appears to have their stuff together as they regard me with the saucy indifference of an 80’s rock group on an album cover. These are, ostensibly, all Tundra Swans. But the one on the left, with the pronounced pinch between bill and eye, and the rounded brow line has features of the less common Trumpeter Swan, though the yellow lores (in front of the eye), is a distinctive Tundra Swan feature.
Of course, it could be a hybrid, though these are not documented in nature, only in captive populations.
One could say “who cares?", as they are a fine-looking lot, however they’re called.
